So will you please fix the day for the lecture yourself,
either before the 25th or after the 26th, and let me know
beforehand?[1] I would also ask you very much to write
to Lausanne, so that I could have done with the lot in
2 days, i.e., lecture in Lausanne either on the evening before
Geneva, or on the day after Geneva.

I accept the subject: “‘Conditions of Peace’ (in
quotation marks) and the National Question”. So this is the
agreed subject. All the best. Regards to V. K. and all our
friends.

There is a convenient train: it arrives in Geneva at
9.15 p.m. Is it all right if I come by this train? If not,
then can I lecture in Lausanne the evening before? Please!

Notes

[1]In Geneva, Lenin read a lecture, “‘Conditions of Peace’ in
Connection with the National Question”, on March 1, 1916. It was
attended by 200 persons. The Institute of Marxism-Leninism
of the C.P.S.U. Central Committee has no information on the
lecture at Lausanne.
